man dbus-launch

AUTOMATIC LAUNCHING
       If DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not set for a process that tries to use D-Bus, by default the process will attempt
       to invoke dbus-launch with the --autolaunch option to start up a new session bus or find the existing bus address
       on the X display or in a file in ~/.dbus/session-bus/

       Whenever an autolaunch occurs, the application that had to start a new bus will be in its own little world; it can
       effectively end up starting a whole new session if it tries to use a lot of bus services. This can be suboptimal
       or even totally broken, depending on the app and what it tries to do.
